Walmart announced back in 2020 that they were going to stop selling all ammunition in select stores here in Virginia. The closest one to me here in Virginia Beach has no weapons of any kind or ammunition of any kind . I saw the writing on the wall when they stopped selling AR-15’s

8-8.5 Grs of Unique has served me and my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk very well over the years.

The Walmart closest to me, has gotten rid of all the ammunition and fire arms. No rifles, Shotguns, or any Ammunition of any Caliber. Since June of 2020 and this after they stopped selling the AR-15 .

Kevin also keep in mind that ALL factory semi Auto ammunition is crimped, let that be your guide

Kevin I don’t know where you read, 9MM ‘isn’t supposed to be crimped’ ALL Semi Auto should be crimped to prevent BULLET SET BACK, when the round hits the feed ramp, going into the chamber. If a set back occurs ( which will increases pressures)especially with the 9MM/38 Super/40 S&W. Thus if the...

BE-86 is a Alliant Powder

Accurate # 7 produces velocity’s less than 1200 FPS, and you don’t need a magnum primer.

When you mix headstamps you had a variable, because different brass manufacturers have different length, internal capacity, which will effect pressures, which in turn will effect velocity, and grouping.

Jimbo1096 I found some ZQI 556 62 Gr M855 at SGAmmo 1200 rounds for 359.60 + 18.00 S&H for grand total of 377.60 $

Well Shorty i carry my SP-101 4 inch in a cross draw holster during the summer months. The SP-101 is bigger and thicker then a S&W J frame, yet it’s smaller than a S&W K frame. The 32 H&R works at a higher pressure than the standard 38 Special. Using your 327 Federal for home defense, you have...

When I get around to it iam going to break a round down and see if I can copy it

Now what i do is test em, side by side same brass, same powder charge, same OAL. See how they group. Using a chronograph if you have one then you will be able to see the velocity SD, ES.

For me the 124 gr JHP provides more penetration than 115, my Beretta 92-G Centurion, loves the Speer 124 Gr Gold Dot Standard Pressure.

Now I haven’t weighted my brass, but I developed my loads by headstamps then evaluate according to the performance
